WEATHER API

This application implements a logic that gives the weather information of a place by making use of the darksky public weather api. This api takes two parameters which are the latitude and longitude of the place. The application takes in command line arguments using a flag **(-a). ####Example Simply run this command on the command line.
node api.js -a address

####HOW IT WORKS The application first makes a call to Google Map services using google map API to retrieve the latitude and longitude coordinates of the address, then it makes a second call to the darksky services using their weather API and the latitude and longitude of the address to retrieve weather information for the address. Information such as:

Temperature
Apparent Temperature
Wind Speed
Pressure
Visibility

##BOOTCAMP PROJECT DAY 1 ###OBJECT ORIENTED PROGRAMMING ###

This implements the object oriented paradigm. In this project Animal was used to model a class for different types of animal. Any type of animal can inherit from the Animal class and call methods defined in that class. For example in this project, a fish and a dog class was sub-classed from the Animal class, which gives them access to call methods defined in the animal class.

####Methods These are some methods from the animal class that can be called and over-ridden by subclasses

getName()
setName(newName)
move(speed)
eat()
setAge(newAge)
getColor()
getAge()

####Example var dog1 = new Dog("Bingo", 25, "Black");
From the above instantiation, dog1 is an instance of the Dog class which is a subclass of the Animal class. Therefore dog1 can access the methods and properties of the Animal class because it is also an instance of the Animal class

dog1.getName() = "Bingo"
dog1.getAge() = 25
dog1.getColor() = "Black"

###DATA TYPE PROGRAMMING TASK This implements a programming logic that checks the data type of the passed input and return appropriate message. The function is called like this dataTypes(parameter);.

####Predefined Output Messages If input is of type:

string => the length will be returned
number => returns either the number is greater than, or less than, or equal to 100
boolean => return the boolean passed in as argument
object => if object is an array, it returns 'the third element in the array' if it exist, if not it returns 'undefined'. if the object is not an array, it returns 'undefined'
function => returns 'called callback' by calling the function and passing 'true' as argument

####Example dataType(32) => "less than 100"
dataType("hello") => 5
dataType(true) => true
dataType(undefined) => undefined
dataType([2,3,4]) => 4
dataType(function(param)) => called callback

###FINDING THE PRIME NUMBERS IN A SEQUENCE This is a programming logic that filters out the prime numbers within a sequence of numbers based on the passed in limit of the sequence. This logic tries to uphold asymptotic analysis by reducing its time and memory complexity to the lowest regardless of the input size.
The function is called like this getPrime(parameter)
####Example getPrime(10) => [2,3,5,7]
getPrime(20) => [2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19]
